2008-10-23[PATCH] move executable checking into ->permission()Miklos Szeredi
For execute permission on a regular files we need to check if file has any execute bits at all, regardless of capabilites. This check is normally performed by generic_permission() but was also added to the case when the filesystem defines its own ->permission() method. In the latter case the filesystem should be responsible for performing this check. Move the check from inode_permission() inside filesystems which are not calling generic_permission(). Create a helper function execute_ok() that returns true if the inode is a directory or if any execute bits are present in i_mode. Also fix up the following code: - coda control file is never executable - sysctl files are never executable - hfs_permission seems broken on MAY_EXEC, remove - hfsplus_permission is eqivalent to generic_permission(), remove Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

2008-10-23[PATCH] reiserfs: add missing llseek methodChristoph Hellwig
Reiserfs currently doesn't set a llseek method for regular files, which means it will fall back to default_llseek. This means no one can seek beyond 2 Gigabytes on reiserfs, and that there's not protection vs the i_size updates from writers. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
2008-10-23[PATCH] fix ->llseek for more directoriesChristoph Hellwig
With this patch all directory fops instances that have a readdir that doesn't take the BKL are switched to generic_file_llseek. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
2008-10-23[PATCH vfs-2.6 6/6] vfs: add LOOKUP_RENAME_TARGET intentOGAWA Hirofumi
This adds LOOKUP_RENAME_TARGET intent for lookup of rename destination. LOOKUP_RENAME_TARGET is going to be used like LOOKUP_CREATE. But since the destination of rename() can be existing directory entry, so it has a difference. Although that difference doesn't matter in my usage, this tells it to user of this intent.

2008-10-23[PATCH vfs-2.6 5/6] vfs: remove LOOKUP_PARENT from non LOOKUP_PARENT lookupOGAWA Hirofumi
lookup_hash() with LOOKUP_PARENT is bogus. And this prepares to add new intent on those path. The user of LOOKUP_PARENT intent is nfs only, and it checks whether nd->flags has LOOKUP_CREATE or LOOKUP_OPEN, so the result is same. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>
2008-10-23[PATCH vfs-2.6 4/6] vfs: remove unnecessary fsnotify_d_instantiate()OGAWA Hirofumi
This calls d_move(), so fsnotify_d_instantiate() is unnecessary like rename path. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>
2008-10-23[PATCH vfs-2.6 3/6] vfs: add __d_instantiate() helperOGAWA Hirofumi
This adds __d_instantiate() for users which is already taking dcache_lock, and replace with it. The part of d_add_ci() isn't equivalent. But it should be needed fsnotify_d_instantiate() actually, because the path is to add the inode to negative dentry. fsnotify_d_instantiate() should be called after change from negative to positive. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>
2008-10-23[PATCH vfs-2.6 2/6] vfs: add d_ancestor()OGAWA Hirofumi
This adds d_ancestor() instead of d_isparent(), then use it. If new_dentry == old_dentry, is_subdir() returns 1, looks strange. "new_dentry == old_dentry" is not subdir obviously. But I'm not checking callers for now, so this keeps current behavior. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>

2008-10-23[PATCH] Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code.David Woodhouse
Some file systems with their own internal locking have problems with the way that nfsd calls the ->lookup() method from within a filldir function called from their ->readdir() method. The recursion back into the file system code can cause deadlock. XFS has a fairly hackish solution to this which involves doing the readdir() into a locally-allocated buffer, then going back through it calling the filldir function afterwards. It's not ideal, but it works. It's particularly suboptimal because XFS does this for local file systems too, where it's completely unnecessary. Copy this hack into the NFS code where it can be used only for NFS export. In response to feedback, use it unconditionally rather than only for the affected file systems.

2008-10-23[PATCH] new helper: d_obtain_aliasChristoph Hellwig
The calling conventions of d_alloc_anon are rather unfortunate for all users, and it's name is not very descriptive either. Add d_obtain_alias as a new exported helper that drops the inode reference in the failure case, too and allows to pass-through NULL pointers and inodes to allow for tail-calls in the export operations. Incidentally this helper already existed as a private function in libfs.c as exportfs_d_alloc so kill that one and switch the callers to d_obtain_alias.

Commit f06febc96ba8e0af80bcc3eaec0a109e88275fac ("timers: fix itimer/ many thread hang") introduced a new task_cputime interface and subsequently only converted binfmt_elf over to it.
